mothers so much good is because it is an external liniment to be aDolied unon the outside where much of the strain comes It helps be cause the pores of the skin readily absorb it and it comes into direct contact with and is absorbed by the parts involved Morning sickness is quickly banished and nervousness Is kept completely away The sense of dread and foreboding is not experienced even during labor itself Confinement is short and almost without pain Recover is quick and sure Best of all Mothers Friend benefits the unborn just as much as the expectant mother and when the little one comes it
